- A journal also called Oasis that is published twice a year in four bilingual editions: Italian-Arabic, English-Arabic, French-Arabic and English-Urdu. In print since 2005, it is available by subscription in Italy but can be purchased in selected bookstores.
- The Oasis website www.oasiscenter.eu which offers, among other things, weekly Arabic translations of the Pope's catecheses.
- A free monthly newsletter in Italian, English, French and soon in Spanish. By bringing together Oasis’ many contacts, the newsletter facilitates exchange and analysis.
